Skin Laxity
Condition Overview
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping it firm, tight, and youthful. This leads to increased skin laxity, sagging, and the formation of wrinkles. Other factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and genetics can accelerate collagen depletion, making the skin appear less toned and more fragile.
At The Face Institute, we offer state-of-the-art, non-surgical treatments designed to restore skin firmness, improve elasticity, and stimulate natural collagen production. Whether you are looking to prevent early signs of aging or treat moderate to advanced skin laxity, our customized solutions provide noticeable, long-lasting results.
Understanding Skin Laxity
Skin laxity occurs due to a combination of aging, environmental damage, and a decline in collagen and elastin production. Common causes include:
- Natural aging, which reduces collagen production starting in the mid-20s
- UV exposure, which breaks down collagen and accelerates skin sagging
- Weight loss, which can cause loose skin due to reduced skin elasticity
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking, dehydration, and poor nutrition
- Hormonal changes that affect skin structure and firmness
Skin laxity can affect multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. While surgical options like facelifts and body lifts exist, non-invasive technologies can effectively tighten and firm the skin without the need for downtime or recovery.

How We Treat Skin Laxity
Our Step by Step Process
At The Face Institute, we use a combination of advanced skin-tightening technologies and collagen-stimulating treatments to restore skin structure and resilience.
Step 1: Radiofrequency Microneedling for Deep Collagen Remodeling
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving skin laxity. This cutting-edge procedure delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin through tiny microneedles, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin.
- Tightens loose skin on the face, neck, and body
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging
- Improves overall skin texture and tone
- Stimulates long-term collagen remodeling for lasting results
Step 2: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening with RF Energy
Empower RF Tone is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, causing immediate tissue contraction and long-term collagen production.
- Firms and lifts areas prone to sagging, such as the jawline, abdomen, and arms
- Enhances elasticity without downtime or discomfort
- Provides gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin tightness
Step 3: Laser Skin Resurfacing for Firmness and Elasticity
Sciton Moxi Laser is a gentle yet effective fractional laser treatment that promotes collagen renewal and improves skin texture. It is ideal for early signs of laxity and loss of firmness.
- Enhances skin tone and elasticity with minimal downtime
- Improves overall skin radiance and tightness
- Stimulates cellular regeneration to slow the aging process
Step 4: Collagen Boosting with Exosome Therapy and Medical-Grade Skincare
To enhance and maintain results, we offer exosome therapy, which delivers powerful growth factors to boost collagen production and accelerate skin healing. In addition, our medical-grade skincare recommendations include:
- Retinol and peptides to support long-term collagen maintenance
- Antioxidant-rich serums to protect against environmental damage
- Hydrating and firming creams to improve skin elasticity
Scientific Credentials and Studies on Skin Laxity Treatment
A 2022 study published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery found that RF microneedling treatments like Morpheus8 increase collagen production by up to 40 percent after a series of treatments, leading to significant improvements in skin firmness and texture.
Clinical research in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal confirmed that radiofrequency-based skin tightening treatments stimulate fibroblast activity, promoting long-term skin remodeling with noticeable lifting effects.
